Canada: 'Khalistan ideology was allowed to flourish', Indian-Canadian community spoke about the current situation in Canada

Posted on 10th Oct 2023 by rohit kumar

Tension is increasing between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Meanwhile, a prominent member of the Indian-Canadian community has expressed deep concern about the environment prevailing in Canada. He says that this environment has enabled Khalistan extremists to commit violence and threaten and intimidate those who oppose them.

 

It is noteworthy that Hardeep Singh Nijjar was murdered in June. Last month, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had accused Indian agencies of murder in Parliament. After this, the dispute between the two countries increased.

 

Playing politics is not in the interest of Canada's future.

Ritesh Malik, national convenor of the Canadian Indian Organization, cautioned that doing politics for short-term gains is not in the interest of Canada's future. He said, 'We as a country are working towards giving freedom of expression, which is our charter right, to those who do not believe in the freedom of others.'

 

Attempt to create a rift in society

Referring to Khalistan extremists in Canada, Malik said that these people are trying to create a rift in society. These elements are working with a nefarious agenda and are trying to spoil the relations between the two countries. He said that freedom of expression should be for everyone. But, unfortunately, that kind of ecosystem has been created in Canada, where these people are very vocal, very violent, and very aggressive and they do not spare anyone.

 

We will have to speak against these people

Malik said that we will have to come forward against these people. Everyone should come forward against them. These people will bully, intimidate, and use every means to destroy humanity. He further said that Sikhs from America, Canada, and Britain have come forward. They have clearly stated that they do not believe in or support the ideology of Khalistan.

 

"These are big issues that raise concerns about Canada's long-term interests," he said. We feel concerned about the future of our children and the rift between communities.' He urged the government, leaders, and advocacy to raise these issues in the interest of Canada.

 

we saw them flourish

Malik referred to the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 and said that people and the families of the victims to date feel that they have not got justice. Ritesh Malik, national coordinator of the Canadian Indian Organization, said that as a Canadian he has no hesitation in admitting that he has not been able to tell those who were responsible for this.

 

He said, ‘We have seen them flourish. Ideology has gone beyond control. People have suffered losses. Even within the Sikh community, some people are suffering because of this ideology. He has not got justice for more than 40 years.
